    Another great visit to Ami Sushi! Fresh fish and lovely people working. We always sit at the counter and enjoy watching the sushi being made. Fairly busy for a Thursday evening but not crowded or too loud.

    Yummy sushi, fresh fish with reasonable pricing. Especially enjoyed the variations of carpaccio. The service was quick and friendly. Family-friendly ambience, and loved the fact that we could watch our NFL game while enjoying sushi! Great little place for a quick lunch or dinner- conveniently located off the 55 between the 22 and the 5.

    A great spot for weekday dinner - there's so many sushi options, and the portions are really generous. Their buy one get one half off deal on Mon-Thurs from 4-9 PM is such a steal - Rolls, nigiri (2pcs), AND sashimi (5pcs) all qualify. The staff is super friendly as well! Highly recommend the Yellowtail Carpaccio, Seared Salmon Sushi, Ami House Roll (specialty item that doesn't qualify for BOGO), and Salmon Belly Sashimi. Also no wait when i went around 5:30 on a weekday (yay).

    This is one of those places you'd like to keep a secret, but nevertheless, I need to share. First of all the food is amazing. All the sushi rolls are well displayed in their menu with pricing that's very palatable. The place is small, with great servers. They serve delicious hot tea, a good selection of beers and some sake. If you love Sushi, this is a place to definitely try. We've been highly recommending this Sushi place for over a year.

    Sushi rolls with  99% skin and fat.

    Poor quality. Disgusting amount of skin and fat. When contacting management to please make it right, he did not want to replace order. He made us feel like we were lying and wasting his time. After almost 15 years coming here, the way this situation was handled was so disheartening and quite frankly unprofessional. We hope the owner values his longtime loyal customers better as we will never return. Update - After back and forth with owner not wanting to replace, he finally ended up doing so after making us feel so bad for the poor quality they provided us. How could you argue this?! Especially to customers who have never complained and come to your establishment several times a month for the past 15+ years. We won't be returning. Completely disappointed and disheartening.

    Simply delicious

    Delicious sushi great customer service Jose goes above and beyond always fresh sushi it's worth the price you won't be dissatisfied! The place is clean nice family restaurant

    Went there for a little break. The restaurant was a little empty but the servers were really nice. I ordered the scalloped sushi and a tempura udon. The tempura udon broth was very cozy with light dashi/mushroom flavor coming through. The noodles were nice and chewy which was good contrast with the crispiness tempura. The sushi also tasted very fresh. For the price you're paying, I think the amount of food is just right and good quality.

    As one of the many many sushi spots in Orange County, I'm here to report that this place is pretty solid. Not the best sushi you'll ever have, but will satisfy your cravings. I think a perfect spot for a quick lunch or for takeout. The rolls are affordable and the service is good. The rolls are big but you'll want at least 2 to be full. The inside of the restaurant has a bar and a good amount of tables, and I'm told that there is usually no wait to eat.

    Thank you to the Yelpers that posted some great pictures and reviews. It looked so good, I made…read morereservations and went yesterday when they opened. This is a small and intimate setting. Reservations are a must. There are two nice owers that work the entire operation. My wife and I were in sake heaven. The selection they have is impressive and not the typical brands and styles that one would see at a Japanese market or any other sushi restaurants would have. We chose a summer seasonal sake they presented to us and it paired very well with our 8 piece omakase nigiri sushi set. Every fish we were served was outstanding. The fish is dry aged and it makes a huge difference in texture and taste. The sushi rice is the best sushi rice we have had in many years. The texture and seasoning of the rice was amazing. These guys make it in smaller batches from what I could see, which ensures you are not getting rice that is mushy or old. I apologize for not taking more pictures. As soon as the sushi was served, we couldn't wait to taste it. Everything was so good that we couldn't pick one favorite fish. They were all amazing. After the 8 piece course, they let us choose ala carte. We just put it in their hands and asked our chef to choose 4 more different nigiri pieces each. This is the best sushi we have had in a few years and we look forward to returning soon. I think the word is getting out that these guys are the real deal and it won't be long before it will be difficult to get a reservation. My wife follows their Instagram and they have great content. They are very kind and have a great sense of humor which makes the entire experience memorable. This is the best sushi in Orange County. Thank you Wabi Sabi Team!

    This small spot is located in a slice of Costa Mesa that should be renamed Tiny Tokyo. It is O.C.'s…read moreversion of Sawtelle Blvd in WLA. Wabi Sabi is in a strip mall with mostly J-eats from Tofu to Tonkatsu. The decor is spartan and all Sushi. And don't ask for a pitcher of Soy Sauce or a knob of fakey Wasabi along with committing a long laundry list of Sushi sins. ie; pointing the hardwood (no cheesy plastic chopsticks) or stabbing a lobe of Uni with them. The Chopsticks are solely a vehicle for delivering each bite to your lips and then your hips. There are only 15 seats in the place. Most of them at the horseshoe Sushi Bar. There are two four tops plus one two top. That's it. My Dorm Room was bigger. But cozy is good for such a place as it creates conviviality. Shushi Chef Makoto-san holds court and Kampachi. He serves a curated variety of Ikajime, (aged Fish), fresh fish flown in from sources in Japan, and some local fish when it meets his requirements along with 45 different Sake choices. Just ask Akira-san, the Sake Somm, for suggestions. Despite it's size, Wabi Sabi offers an auspicious and ambitious menu. Sushi etiquette dictates that you eat exactly as it arrives. No bottle of Soy Sauce or a knob of fakey Wasabi (Horseradish with food coloring). There are three levels of Omakase from $85 per person to $180 per person. For my first time I opted for the Sushi 101 version ($85) and planned to supplement that with ala carte plates until I could enjoy no more. The Omakase featured six Nigiri, (Vinegared Rice and fish), one small mystery Bowl and a Hand Roll all up to Chef Makoto. I lost count and I think Chef Makoto did to as we were having a grand ole time. First you will be asked questions. "Anything you don't eat? Anything you must eat? Any allergies?" "No Chef", I replied. "I eat everything alive or dead. Cat Hair, Puppy Pimples, Dust Bunnies, Bee's Knees, and Roasted House Mouse. You decide. (Probably a good thing that didn't translate well). That issue having been resolved the party started. Akira-san brought a flight of thee Sakes. All lovely and unique. The first dish was a lightly Vinegared Half Avocado with shredded Hanakatsuo (Bonito Flakes). The cuts in the sliced Avocado were so precise Sweeney Todd would have approved the presentation. Plus it was bright, delicious, simple and elegant. Next came Crispy Unagi (Fresh Water Eel) intertwined with Baby Corn inside a crunchy wrapper to hot to touch. Talk Politics while it cools. Add some Pickled Ginger that packs a pickled punch to the plate and move on to something less derisive...Religion. House Made Corn Tofu was really interesting and terrific. It was as thick as a Lemon Curd settled into a shallow pool of Sweetened Dashi topped with Hokkaido Uni and a dot of real Wasabi. Machigainaku ichiban. Out came a bisected bivalve (Dry Day Boat Scallop) also from Hokkaido served with Seasonal Rice. The Scallop was firm but not chewy and as good as this dish can be. Buri (Yellowtail) with House Made Corn Sauce, Daikon Radish with a dot of Tobiko (Flying Fish Roe). Hard enough to harvest such a delicacy when they're flying let alone when they are swimming. It's Tuna time. Otoro, fully fatty style with a paint brush of Soy Sauce lightly applied and as soft as Butter. Then there was Medium Fatty Toro. Both were wonderful. Having worked my way through the fatty scale it was a fatty on the scale in the morning. How about some Salmon on Rice with a dot of Basil Paste. Doesn't that sound divine? Well, it was. Buri (Amberjack) with a drop of Green Peppercorn Sauce was spiritual as well. I began to think about tapping out and then I asked for chopped Buri, a dash of Chili Powder and Chopped Shiso Leaves, a brush of Soy Sauce all neatly loaded into a Nori Square Hand Roll. Finally, I encouraged Chef Makoto to go to the edge and make a last Roll of his choice. It was just Chopped Toro and Pickles. Ooh Baby, was that perfect. A true perfect Happy Ending. Sushi Wabi Sabi you're my new hobby.

    I used to be a huge fan of this spot and loved coming here for their sushi (especially their old…read morehalf-roll option), which was perfect for trying a variety of dishes without over-ordering. They've recently transitioned to an All-You-Can-Eat model, but unfortunately, the shift has really changed the experience for the worse. The quality has noticeably declined, dishes felt rushed, and standard items I order regularly came out looking and tasting different. On top of slow service, the AYCE format felt stressful...like I had to binge eat under a time limit rather than enjoying a meal. While you certainly won't leave hungry, it feels like the focus has shifted from quality to quantity. Really disappointed to see a former favorite take this direction.

    Went here for a lunch AYCE with a potentially troublesome group (2 infants, 2 toddlers). Was…read morewelcomed and had a good seating area thanks to the servers. The lunch price is really good! Ordering was also really easy on the webpage, which made the AYCE experience 10x better. Having to wait for food and trying to get a server's attention all the time can be a real momentum killer, so I'm glad this was a different method. The sushi was great! Pepper salmon was great, and the portions of rice were a good ratio relative to the fish. Our group ended up getting lots of salmon, but I wish we got more hand rolls as those were really good too. Def recommend and want to come back :)
